IMPROVEMENT IN MECHANICAL MOVEMENTS.

The Scheule referred to in these Letters'Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it mag/*concern Be vit known that I, ELUAH MELTON, of' Flemingsburg, iu the county ot' Fleming and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and improved Mechanical Movement; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear-,and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference heing had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a'plan view, and

Figure 2, a side elevation.

This invention consists in an apparatus for communicating motion from a motor-shaft to a driving-shaft through the agency of au intermediate system of leverage, instead of by direct circumferential contact of the wheels.

In the drawing- A is a wheel, placed on the motor-shaft A.

B is the driving-shaft, hearing a fly, B', on one end, and atoothed pinion, 11, at the other end.

C is the supporting frame-work, which sustains, in

addition to the shaft A' and the shaft B, two shafts, C C', additional to the latter one at each side of it, at equal intervals, and in the same'horizontal plane.

The shafts O C bear pinions, c c', which gear with the pinion b.

D is a lever, having its fulcrum in a standard, D,

vertically over the cent-ral shaft B, and just out ,of the vertical plane of the pinions b c c'.

The lever is joined by arod, d, with a pin projecting from the wheel A at a point of the latter not centrai.

'ters Patent, is4

The wheel A, pinions b c c', connecting-rods d ll d",

and lever D, combined and arranged substantially as described.

To the above specification of my improvement I have set my hand this 28th day of October, 1869.
